Embodiment Construction

[0017]As shown in FIG. 1, a connector 10A, 10B of this embodiment includes terminal fittings 90 to be connected to end parts of wires 100 and a housing 20 capable of accommodating the terminal fittings 90. A seal 80 is accommodated in the housing 20, and a holder 60 is mounted on the housing 20 for retaining the seal 80. A wire cover 50 is mounted on the housing 20 following the holder 60. The housing 20 is connectable to a mating housing 200. Further, the housing 20, the holder 60 and the wire cover 50 collectively are called a connector main body 300. In the following description, surfaces that face each other when the connection of the two housings 20, 200 is started are referred to as front ends concerning a front-back direction. Additionally, a vertical direction is based on FIG. 1. Further, a width direction is synonymous with a lateral direction of FIGS. 2 to 7.

[0018]The mating housing 200 is made of synthetic resin and includes a base wall 201 in the form of a flat plate ext...

Abstract

A connector (10A) includes a main body (300) with a wire pull-out surface (66) through which wires (100) are pulled out and a wire cover (50) mounted on the main body (300). The wire cover (50) includes a back plate (51) and two covering portions (53) projecting from opposite ends of the back plate (51) to face each other and cover the wires (100) from opposite sides. The covering portions (53) have an opening (55) configured to expose parts of the wires (100) when viewed in the facing direction at a position overlapping a formation area of the wire pull-out surface (66). A mounting portion (59) extends from an edge of the opening (55) to the back plate (51) and is configured such that a binding band (75) for fixing the wires (100) is mounted thereon.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to a connector.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-20774 discloses a connector with terminal fittings to be connected to end parts of wires. The connector has a housing with cavities into which the terminal fittings are to be inserted and a wire cover to be mounted on the housing to cover the wires pulled out from the cavities. The wires are bent in the wire cover to extend in a direction intersecting a pull-out direction along a back plate and are drawn out to the outside of the wire cover from an opening on one end.[0005]Wires drawn out to the outside of the wire cover may be bound collectively on one end part of the wire cover by a fixing means such as a tie band so as not to be scattered. However, an operation of binding the wires may become difficult if the number of the wires increases. Thus, an improvement of operability is required.[0006]The invention...
